Klopp Left Frustrated By VAR And United Tactics - Liberty TV/Radio - News - Voice For All! Vision For Alll!
Mohammed Abdulhammed
October 21, 2019
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says Manchester United always set up to defend against his side following Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Old Trafford. The Premier League leaders went into the game on the back of eight straight top-flights wins, while United have been struggling following a poor start to the season.
However, it was Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men who almost snatched all three points as they led 1-0 going into the final minutes of the game thanks to a strike from Marcus Rashford on 36 minutes.
Liverpool snatched a point when Adam Lallana struck five minutes from time, and although happy not to lose the game, Klopp was clearly frustrated afterwards.
Much of the post-match conversation again centred on VAR as Klopp was convinced Rashford’s goal should have been ruled out for a foul by Victor Lindelof on Divock Origi in the build-up.
But he was also frustrated with United’s tactics, claiming they just defend. Klopp has failed to win in five trips to Old Trafford and says there was only one team trying to win this one. “This year, last year, the year before, they just defend,” he said.
“That’s how it is. It is OK. It is no criticism. It is just a fact. “When you think about Manchester United against Liverpool, you think both teams are trying like this. But it is not. We try.”
Liverpool remain top of the Premier League, six points ahead of Manchester City, while United are two points above the relegation places.
Solskjaer felt his side deserved to hang on for the three points and also dismissed Klopp’s claim that they did not look to win. “We set the team up to attack and be aggressive and create chances and we did that,” said the Norwegian.
“We are better when we attack quickly, with no dilly-dallying on the ball. We need to be more direct, take more risks and be braver. It doesn’t matter if you lose the ball higher up the pitch because you can win it back.”

Kuwait: New Emir Sworn-In After Death Of Ruler - Liberty TV/Radio - News - Voice For All! Vision For Alll!

September 30, 2020
Kuwait on Wednesday swore in its new emir, Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, and prepared to receive the body of his half-brother, the late ruler Sheikh Sabah who died in the US at the age of 91.
Sheikh Nawaf was visibly emotional as he addressed the National Assembly a day after the death of the emir, an acclaimed diplomat and mediator who ruled for 14 years.
He pledged to “serve the nation” in the address before lawmakers, who sat socially distanced and in masks, in line with coronavirus precautions.
The remains of Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad Al-Sabah are expected to arrive in Kuwait City later Wednesday, on a flight from Minnesota where he had been undergoing treatment in hospital since July.
According to the royal court, the funeral will be “restricted to the emir’s relatives” — a move likely designed to avoid large crowds amid the coronavirus pandemic. The country has already begun a 40-day period of national mourning.

Kuwait: Women Protest Against Ban On Yoga Retreat Tagged ‘Indecent’ - Liberty TV/Radio - News - Voice For All! Vision For Alll!

Event organiser Eman al-Husseinan announced the suspension of the retreat last Thursday, stating she had not received a permit from the authorities, a day after Member of Parliament Hamdan al-Azmi tweeted to denounce the retreat as dangerous.
Women in the square carried placards denouncing the exploitation of women’s issues by parliament and government, and rejecting the regime of religious edicts and guardianship of women.
Though several Kuwaiti women have previously held government posts and parliament seats, women failed to win any seats in elections to the last parliament, which is dominated by the Islamist opposition.

Kwara APC South Backs Governor Abdulrazaq’s Second Term Bid - Liberty TV/Radio - News - Voice For All! Vision For Alll!

October 26, 2021
The APC members who converged at the NUJ Press Center to drum support for the governor also thanked him for allowing one of them to emerge as the state chairman of the party.
Governor Abdulrazaq, they believe has done well in all sectors and should be supported to return for second term.
Spokesperson of the Kwara South APC Forum, James Ayeni, said the governor has governed the people of the state with humility and the fear of God since assuming office in 2019.
Meanwhile, members of the Young Progressive Party (YPP) in the state have organised a rally across major streets.
The rally, they noted, is to sensitise the public on the need to shift attention to voting the youths to man the affairs of the country instead of the old and what they called recycled politicians.
While the APC members believe the governor has done well and should be returned, the YPP on its part wants the paradigm shift to their party which believes in the capability of the youth to bring positive changes to the country.
